When a task is selected through a dl_server, it will have p->dl_server set, such that it can account runtime to the dl_server, see update_curr_task(). Currently p->dl_server is set in pick*task() whenever it goes through the dl_server, clearing it is a bit of a mess though. The trivial solution is clearing it on the final put (now that we have this location). However, this gives a problem when: p = pick_task(rq); if (p) put_prev_set_next_task(rq, prev, next); picks the same task but through a different path, notably when it goes from picking through the dl_server to a direct pick or vice-versa. In that case we cannot readily determine wether we should clear or preserve p->dl_server. An additional complication is pick_*task() setting p->dl_server for a remote pick, it might still need to update runtime before it schedules the core_pick. Close all these holes and remove all the random clearing of p->dl_server by: - having pick_*task() manage rq->dl_server - having the final put_prev_task() clear p->dl_server - having the first set_next_task() set p->dl_server = rq->dl_server - complicate the core_sched code to save/restore rq->dl_server where appropriate.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
